Q: Boil, Or Cyst, Or Cancer, Or Pimple On My Leg? Help Please..

I have read another topic on this forum under the same name. Found here http://ehealthforum.Com/health/topic772.Ht ml.


I have the same symtomps as cokebottle04. I am not sure what it is and I have been to a doctor and my doctor does not know what it is either. This is the 4th time this boil/pimple/or whatever it is showed up. It shows up one at a time anywhere on my legs. After it healed it left a dark black circle discoloration on my leg.


Well the symtomps are it looks like a zit. It started small with a yellow liquid inside (on the center). It is painful when it's touched. I usually put bacitracin on it and the next day it will become bigger and usually burst itself when I am walking, sitting, or moving my legs. When I tried to get those yellow liquid out, I noticed bumps (maybe veins since they're long) anywhere near the center. I had to press really hard to get these yellow liquids out so these bumps left a finger / thumb mark. The area around the pimple is hot (like a fever). The skin around the pimple started to peel off, after 4th or 5th day.


I looked around my room for any spiders but I cannot find any.


Anyone has any idea on what it is and what caused it or have similar symtomps?

Perhaps it's just impetigo:

if topical antibiotics don't clear it up you need to see the Dr. Again (perhaps a different Dr.?) & check on it.

Parotid gland
I had an enlarged parotis gland. Whem it was biopsied, the dr removed about 3.5ccs of yellow clear liquid and of course the lump started to defate immediately. That was in the morning. By evening, it appears that this lumps is reurning. Is it because it may be a little tender from being aspirated or is the lump coming back?
